SOCKS CLINTON

One of my strongest memories of U.S. President Bill Clinton first getting into office -- and taking up residency in the Whitehouse -- is the image of his pet feline sitting on the front lawn. "Socks" was, I guess, the first Clinton to officially address press photographers at the presidential home. He graciously stayed put as the battalion of cameras fought for just the right angle on the most powerful cat in America.
